Default Got keyed!!!!!

Got keyed just on the drivers side door and really don't want to have to get it reprinted. Any suggestions on fixing scratches?

Wheel her through the brush for awhile and you won't worry about that scratch!

If it is not down to the metal get a clear coat pen. I've had good experiences with Meguiars, and the turtle wax kit, if it is down to metal get a primer pen and either mopar or Dr color chip touch up paint

Can you post a picture of it? Depending on how deep it is you my be able to buff it right off. You'll need the right product though. Meguires 105 should do the job fine if it's just in the clear if it's through the clearcoat I highly recommend taking it wheeling through some brush lol

I can probably talk you though what you need to do based on a picture.

I just polished out a "coat hanger battle" on my girls new Lexus. She ran over a coat hanger and it stuck in the side of the tread and beat the right rear quarter panel to death. I used a SnapOn mini D/A with a wool pad and some 3M Perfect-It compound. Looks a LOT better, but the scratches were to the primer in a few spots. I would say it removed about 90% of the clear coat to get most scratches out. Probably still gonna have to get the bumper, quarter, right rear door, rear quarter window trim and door handle re painted. I'm feeling for you. Sucks! Try compounding. It just might work.

First, you must have a clue (?) as to why this was done to your Jeep? If so, I'd be hunting down the culprit and kicking some ass. We need more street justice.
